What is the technique to open the Audi kick-to-open trunk?

Audi kick-to-open trunk technique: 1. Kick your foot forward about 75cm; 2. Keep your leg straight, toes pointing downward, with the sole parallel to the ground and about 25cm above it; 3. Apply appropriate force to land the forefoot on the ground while shifting your body weight forward; 4. Do not swing your leg sideways—kick as if marching; 5. Ensure the car is locked beforehand, as unlocking will prevent the trunk from opening. The Audi A4L has a body length, width, and height of 4858mm, 1847mm, and 1439mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2908mm. The car's engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 270Nm.
Opening the trunk with Audi's kick sensor is actually quite simple, and finding the right spot is key. I always aim for the middle of the rear bumper, about 30 cm below the logo—remember to swing your leg forward like a sweeping kick and pull it back immediately without touching the bumper. The key needs to be in your pocket and close to the rear of the car, preferably until you hear a beep. It's a lifesaver in summer when my hands are full of grocery bags, with a success rate of over 90%. However, it occasionally fails in rain or snow, probably because the sensor gets blocked by mud or water. Also, be careful not to bump your head when the trunk is about to close—this design isn't very thoughtful.
